Starting prices
Real starting prices, supply and install. Larger areas price lower per square metre, and every exact quote follows a site visit — the substrate decides more than the sample board does.
All rates are AED per square metre, supply and installation. A typical 40 m² living-room floor starts from around AED 10,000; a 12 m² feature wall from around AED 2,700. Bespoke colours and textures are priced on consultation.
Microcement, made for the way Dubai lives
Microcement is a thin, polymer-modified cement coating — just a few millimetres thick — trowelled by hand into a smooth, continuous surface. Because it’s so thin, it wraps floors, walls, stairs and even bathrooms in one seamless mineral skin, usually laid straight over what’s already there. No grout lines, no joints: a calm, contemporary finish with a soft, cloudy movement all its own.
That suits Dubai interiors particularly well. It turns a tiled villa floor into one uninterrupted plane without ripping anything out; it takes a feature wall, a staircase and a worktop and speaks them in a single material; and it holds its composure through the heat and humidity that punishes lesser finishes.
One material, whole-home
The reason designers keep specifying it is continuity. A microcement floor can run from the living room through the kitchen and up the stairs; the same surface can climb a wall or line a shower. Fewer visual breaks make a space read larger and quieter — which is exactly what a modern Dubai home is usually after.
We apply a professional Italian microcement system, chosen for its colour stability and durability, and finished by our own trained crews. You pick the shade from our colour chart, approve a physical sample of the exact finish, and we take it from there — substrate to sealer.
Why Dubai chooses RBS for microcement
Our own trained crews
Microcement lives or dies by the hands that lay it. Every RBS applicator is trained and directed in-house — never a subcontracted day-rate crew learning on your floor.
Premium Italian materials
We apply a professional Italian microcement system, sealed with immersion-grade finishes — the difference between a surface that ages gracefully and one that dulls in a season.
Engineered against cracks
Hairlines come from movement and rushed prep, not the material. We detail the substrate, mesh and build-up properly, so the finish stays sound.
Colour matched, sampled first
Choose from our colour chart, and we'll prepare a physical sample of your exact shade and finish before a single square metre is committed.
Your questions, answered straight
Will it crack?
Not when it's built correctly. Cracking traces back to substrate movement and skipped preparation — so we stabilise and prime the base, embed a reinforcing mesh where it's needed, and lay the coats in the right thickness and cure time. Done this way, microcement holds.
Is it worth it over tiles?
For a renovation, usually yes — it goes straight over existing tiles, so you save the demolition, the rubble skips and the week of noise. And you gain something tiles can't give: one continuous surface with no grout lines to collect dirt or date the room.
Does it survive a UAE bathroom?
Yes, with the right build-up. Wet zones get a full tanking system beneath the coating and an immersion-grade sealer above it, with slope and drainage detailing. That's why wet areas carry their own rate — the waterproofing is real engineering, not an afterthought.
Will it yellow or need constant upkeep?
Indoors, our sealed finishes stay true and wipe clean with everyday care. Floors benefit from a re-seal every few years depending on traffic — a quick maintenance visit, not a re-installation.

Frequently asked
How much does microcement cost in Dubai?
Microcement in Dubai starts from AED 220/m² for walls and feature surfaces, from AED 250/m² for floors, and from AED 350/m² for wet zones such as bathrooms and pools — supply and install. Larger areas price lower per square metre, and exact quotes follow a site visit.
Can microcement go over existing tiles?
Yes. Because it's only a few millimetres thick, microcement bonds straight over sound existing tiles — no demolition, no rubble, and the joints simply disappear under one seamless surface. It's one of the main reasons it's popular for Dubai renovations.
How long does a microcement installation take?
A typical room takes four to seven days including cure time. It's applied by hand in thin layers, and each layer must cure before the next — the schedule is set by chemistry, so plan the space out of use for the full period.
Is microcement waterproof enough for bathrooms?
Installed with the correct tanking system and an immersion-grade sealer, microcement performs reliably in showers, bathrooms and around pools. The coating is stable through 45°C summers and coastal humidity; the systems beneath and above it do the waterproofing.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — RBS microcement carries a one-year workmanship warranty, on top of manufacturer material guarantees. Wet areas are installed with a full waterproofing build-up designed for the long term.
Do you install microcement outside Dubai?
Yes. Dubai is our base, but our crews work across the UAE — Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates included.
